Water and Ice Dispensers
IMPORTANT:
■
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing
the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container
to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds,
then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to
flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and
releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off)
until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This will flush
air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare
the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in
some households. As air is cleared from the system, water
may spurt out of the dispenser.
■
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water.
■
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
■
The dispensing system will not operate when the refrigerator
door is open and/or when a USB device is placed into the
USB port.
Options
Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the
following options: the ability to select crushed or cubed ice, a pull-
out tray, a light that turns on when you use the dispenser, a lock to
avoid unintentional dispensing or an indicator that tells you when
there has been a power outage.
NOTES:
■
The language of the text on the display screen can be set to
English, Spanish or French. For information about changing
the language, see “Using the Controls.”
■
The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a
backlight, which will turn off automatically when the controls
have not been used for 2 minutes or more. When the backlight
is off, the first press of a control button or the display screen
will only reactivate the backlight, without changing any
settings. Within 2 minutes after the backlight has been
reactivated, additional presses of control buttons or the
display screen will change the applicable settings.
Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a
fresh supply.
The default display unit for water dispensing is ounces. The units
can be changed to cups or liters.
To Dispense Water (Standard):
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad OR
place the glass below the water dispenser and press the water
dispenser button.
2. Remove the glass OR release the button to stop dispensing.
To Dispense Water (Measured Fill):
Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specified amount of water
with the touch of a few buttons.
NOTE: The amount of water you select will be dispensed. Be sure
that the container is empty and can hold the entire volume. If ice is
in the container, you may need to adjust your selection.
1. Press WATER on the display screen to turn the feature on.
NOTE: The dispenser will automatically exit the Measured Fill
screen after 15 seconds of inactivity.
2. You can dispense water by the ounce, cup, or liter. Press
UNITS to select your desired setting. Minimum and maximum
volumes are listed below.
3. Press the up and down arrows to adjust the volume as
desired.
NOTE: Most coffee cups (commonly 4 to 6 oz [118 to 177 mL]
per cup) are not the same size as a measuring cup (8 oz
[237 mL]). You may need to adjust the volume to avoid
unintentionally overfilling coffee cups. The Measured Fill
feature is based on standard household water pressure of
60 psi. Users with low water pressure may need to adjust the
volume selection accordingly.
4. To dispense water, press a sturdy glass against the water
dispenser pad OR place the glass below the water dispenser
and press the water dispenser button.
NOTE: While dispensing water, the digital display will count
down how much water remains to be dispensed, according to
the volume you selected. The flow of water will automatically
stop once the desired volume has been dispensed.
5. To stop dispensing before the selected volume has been
dispensed, remove the glass from the dispenser pad OR press
the water dispenser button a second time.
NOTE: If you stop dispensing before the desired volume has
been dispensed, the digital display will continue to show how
much water remains to be dispensed. The display will exit the
Measured Fill screen after 15 seconds of inactivity.
To select a new volume or select the same volume again, you
must first finish dispensing the selected volume, or turn off the
Measured Fill feature and then turn it back on.
Preset Volumes
The dispenser can store up to three preset water volumes, for
easy dispensing into commonly used containers.
■
To store presets, press WATER, then PRESET. Locate a blank
or unwanted preset on the display screen. Press and hold that
preset for 3 seconds, and the preset adjustment menu will
appear on the display screen. Adjust the units and volume of
water as desired, as instructed in steps 2 and 3 of the
previous section. Press PRESET to save the preset.
■
To use presets, press WATER, then PRESET, then press and
release the desired preset. Dispense water as instructed in
steps 4 and 5 of the previous section.
Pull-out Tray
Your dispenser includes a small pull-out tray at the bottom of the
dispenser.
■
The tray can be pulled slightly to better support large
containers. It is designed to catch small spills and allow for
easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray.
